Chapter 6: Go out and avoid the limelight
Chen Qingqing is a person who believes in intuition. Her intuition has saved her many times.
So she did not stay in bed and wait, but picked up the machete from the bedside table and followed carefully out.
Lin Bo looked out through the cat's eye and opened the door.
"This is rice, this is white flour, see if it's enough, if not, I have more at home."
The person standing outside was indeed the perverted neighbor downstairs, with a flattering smile on his face.
If you don't take advantage of it, you are a bastard.
Lin Bo took the two bags of rice and flour and nodded at him: "Okay, thank you."
The man looked inside again and happened to see Chen Qingqing walking towards the door. His eyes lit up, and then he saw Chen Qingqing holding the same machete in her hand.
"…"
"You two have a strong sense of precaution..." The man smiled awkwardly.
"Yeah, it's too chaotic outside today." Chen Qingqing stared at him closely.
"How can we not be on guard?"
"I advised you not to go out, it's too dangerous outside." Chen Qingqing said.
The man shook his head, as if a little surprised by Chen Qingqing's concern: "Okay."
"Also, don't talk nonsense."
The man didn't understand: "What to say?"
Chen Qingqing held the machete in her hand, took a few steps towards the man, and her voice gradually became lower.
"If someone asks you about us...you know what to say, right?"
The man had never seen Chen Qingqing look like this before.
The reason why he targeted this family was because Chen Qingqing looked weak and kind.
But now the pressure from this weak woman is even stronger than that from her husband!
"I said I don't know you at all!" The man's desire to survive prompted him to blurt out.
It's not an exaggeration, he even felt that if he spoke a second later, the knife in Chen Qingqing's hand would fall on his head!
Chen Qingqing then retracted her gaze.
"Yes, that's what I said."
The man asked in a low voice: "Can I, can I leave?"
Chen Qingqing closed the door directly and turned to walk towards the bedroom.
"Qingqing?"
Not to mention the neighbors downstairs, even Lin Bo had never seen his wife like this.
He followed his wife closely, watching her open the closet and start packing things. He was stunned: "Qingqing, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Qingqing didn't even turn her head, and kept packing: "I think it's still dangerous here."
"Let's go, even if we don't leave H City, we should live somewhere else."
Lin Bo felt that his wife was not in a good state, and then asked in a soft voice: "Can you tell me why?"
Chen Qingqing paused.
She turned around, her expression visibly tense: "I'm worried that that group of people will come to our house."
"The same group of people who stole the jade pendant!"
"They formed a team on the second day after the apocalypse, and found our jade pendant... I'm so worried that we'll be found this time too!"
Lin Bo: "Didn't they fail last time because I was out?"
"Even if you don't go out this time, what if they come to our house?"
Chen Qingqing clutched the clothes in her hands tightly as she spoke, with beads of sweat already appearing on her forehead.
"Some things can't be explained clearly according to common sense, just like the space in the jade pendant!"
"What if they knew from the beginning that we had the jade pendant and where we lived. What if they didn't pass by the community, but came just for us?"
"After all, the jade pendant is so magical, who wouldn't want it?" After
Chen Qingqing finished a long paragraph, she sat paralyzed on the bed, covering her face with her hands, sobbing softly.
"I'm sorry... maybe I'm too sensitive."
"I'm really worried that you and the children will encounter danger."
Even potential danger is not allowed!
If she was alone, maybe she wouldn't be so scared.
But if she had to do it again, she didn't want to lose any family members again!
Lin Bo sat beside her and gently put his arm around her shoulders: "Let's go."
Chen Qingqing raised her head.
Lin Bo looked at her tenderly, "Let's go. I know a resort hotel nearby. It's the off-season now, so there shouldn't be many people."
"How about we come back after these few days?"
Chen Qingqing bit her lower lip lightly, "Do you believe me?"
Lin Bo smiled, "You are my wife. If you don't even trust your own wife, there is no one in this world worth trusting."
Lin Bo took the clothes from her hand, "Let me do it."
He paused again and looked at Chen Qingqing again, his tone gentle but firm, "Don't have any burden. Wherever you want to go, our family will follow you."
"Don't set too high standards for yourself just because you are reborn. Things are unpredictable, not to mention the end of the world. No one can guarantee that nothing will go wrong."
"We follow you not because you are reborn, but because you are my wife and the mother of my children."
"It's because you are Chen Qingqing."
"Didn't Xiaohuan say that? We as a family should help each other, because we are a family."
Lin Bo's words were like a warm spring breeze, soothing the restless heart.
Chen Qingqing's mood gradually calmed down.
The two smiled at each other and packed clothes together.
After packing, they took turns to stand guard and sleep for a while. At five o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang on time.
Lin Bo was responsible for feeding their daughter, and Chen Qingqing went to wake Xiaohuan up to wash up.
After Xiaohuan finished washing up and returned to the room, he saw clothes on the bed.
"Mom, are we going out?"
Chen Qingqing responded.
After getting the answer, Xiaohuan put on his favorite new clothes and walked to the living room dining table and sat down.
Chen Qingqing handed him hot milk and fried eggs, and explained: "We are going to live outside for a few days."
Xiaohuan drank a mouthful of milk, and half a circle of milk stains remained on his mouth.
"Isn't it very dangerous outside?"
Chen Qingqing was stunned, not knowing how to answer.
Lin Bo pulled out a chair and sat next to his son: "But a group of bad guys may come to our community in the next few days."
"We have to avoid him."
Xiaohuan nodded thoughtfully, blinking his big eyes and curiously asked: "Where are we going?"
"To a resort hotel, the kind with slides and swimming pools, are you happy?"
Xiaohuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately clapped his hands: "Happy!"
"Eat quickly, we will set off immediately after eating."
Lin Bo squeezed his eyes at Chen Qingqing.
Chen Qingqing realized that her son could understand what they said.
Although Xiaohuan didn't know how bad the bad guys were or what they would do, he knew that mom and dad took them away from home to avoid danger and protect them.
This is much better than telling the children nothing.
Although they are young, they also have the right to know the itinerary and destination. After
the two children were full and watered, the family of four rushed to the underground garage and quickly drove out of the garage.
Chen Qingqing sat in the passenger seat and looked out.
There was a series of rear-end collisions on this road yesterday, but it had been cleared last night.
I don't know if this road will still be so smooth when they come back in a few days.
"Many stores are open." Lin Bo looked at the shops on both sides of the street, "Want a cup of milk tea?"
Milk tea...
Chen Qingqing licked her lips.
She hadn't had this thing for three years.
Although Chen Qingqing didn't say it explicitly, Lin Bo understood it as soon as he saw her little action and couldn't help laughing.
"I'll buy two cups of milk tea."
Xiao Huan immediately stuck his head out when he heard it: "Is there any for me?"
He knew that his father never drank milk tea, and his mother definitely couldn't drink two cups by herself!
Lin Bo reached out and flicked Xiao Huan's head: "Of course!"
Xiao Huan rubbed his head and said excitedly: "Then I want coconut, pearls, pudding, and taro balls!"
Chen Qingqing laughed: "Are you drinking milk tea or porridge?"
Xiao Huan smacked his lips: "I haven't had it for a long time!"
Milk tea has a high sugar content, and Chen Qingqing doesn't give it to Xiao Huan often.
Lin Bo quickly stopped the car on the side of the road to buy milk tea.
In the first few days, there were fewer people infected, and hospitals could easily accept them, so it is not very dangerous on the road now.
But Chen Qingqing still looked around vigilantly, and the machete was always at his feet, ready to pick up at any time.
Lin Bo quickly came back with milk tea, and also carried a few bags of milk tea condiments.
There are dry packaged pearls and taro balls, bagged coconut and agar-agar.
"I asked, these vacuum-packed ones can be stored at room temperature for several months."
Chen Qingqing skillfully put them into the space: "I just bought a lot of tea leaves."
"It's delicious!" Xiaohuan took a big sip of milk tea, chewing the pearls, and was very happy to hear Chen Qingqing's words.
"Then we can also make milk tea ourselves?"
"Of course." Lin Bo started the car while chatting with his son.
"Wife, is your cup delicious?"
"...Wife?"
